At least Bronco receivers don't have to leap 2 feet straight up, where they would get creamed back in the Elway days. This Manning guy is a hoot, he can throw the ball with precision and finesse. Oh, and the red zone. What's that? I'm gonna buy some pizza.

Democracy can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse out of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority will always vote for the candidate promising the most benefits from the treasury...followed by a dictatorship

How's the weather been there in Seattle, Homer?

weather is real nice right here in Denver, Dum b Sh it. Pull your head out of your a ss. You know Sherman will tear this pansy white-boy's a yass open. Homer? Where's Bong Miller? Sitting on his sofa sucking on his bong. Like always. That's why he won't be there. Ganja too important. And his idiotic glasses. You moron Donks are going down. Nothing can stop that now.

One of the reasons that the Seahawks defensive backs do so well is because they get away with murder back there. However, we have three large, fast, strong receivers, and one small crafty dude who are the best receiving corps in the history of the NFL. I think we'll do fine. Oh yeah, and then there's that other guy whose kinda old, but seems to be able to read defenses like he wrote the book. Oh yeah...we'll be fine.

I take it that you don't think much of the Seahawk defenders. I hope you are right.

Would you say that Denver has played a defense better than this one? As athletic and hard hitting and so proficient at causing turnovers? As well coached? The Chiefs, Chargers, or Colts are nothing compared to these guys. I have watched them play several times and I never see them slow down for one second. I wouldn't put it past them on the first series to see them call an 11 man blitz just to bury Manning. These guys love to hit. It can be a pretty big equalizer if Denver gets caught at the wrong time.

Personally, as much as I know that Denver is the better team and hope to see them get to a big lead, I think it's going to be a 4th Qtr game decided by a big play or turnover.

4 field goals at 3 points each equals 12. That's 46% of the Broncos scoring total in the AFC Championship victory.

Lunchmoney is a computer hero/troll who probably had his "lunch money" stolen often as a kid, hence, the attitude. Talk that way in public and you stand to lose a bit more than your lunch money.

4 for 4. Cha-ching.

I was thinking the same thing.

In both of the playoff games, the FG's were huge.

As a matter of fact, I was a little miffed when the Broncos didn't get the TD after the Pot Roast 4th down sack. I thought that was gonna cost.

Just the same, if Prater misses a few practices but gets healthy for the Super Bowl, it should be fine.

The other thing that concerns me though, remember the horrible "thud" that was the missed FG just before the half in the Ravens PO game last season?

The hardness of the football in those dreadfully cold games, as the SB appears will be, makes me nervous.

That kick if made, might have been the difference. Don't want that to be what makes the difference next week!
